The X-Files: The Rain King (1999)
Season 6, Episode 8
8/10
Love can move mountains, and make it rain.
16 September 2022
Mulder and Scully visit a small town in Kansas, to investigate a man who claims he has direct control over the weather.

It takes a little time for this one to settle, for it to open up, as initially it's a bizarre one, once it gets going, you realise that it's a love story, a love story with an X Files twist.

There have been some quite heavy going episodes, including the movie, so this comes as something of a bit of light relief. There's nothing particularly extraordinary or exceptional about the storyline, but the character play is a true joy, it's actually quite funny, and very sweet.

A true exploration of longing and of love, and just how tough it can be to keep feelings bottled up.

Victoria Jackson was an absolute delight as Sheila, what a babe!

Super sweet, a nice change in direction, and a happy ending, the writers must have been having a good day, 8/10.
